LESSON TWO 
We Live in a 
Bucket-Carrying World 
A doctor driving his four-year-old daughter to 
daycare left his stethoscope on the car seat. The 
daughter reached over and started to play with it. 
“May daughter wants to follow in my footsteps,” 
the doctor thought to himself. “This is the proudest 
moment of my life.” 
The child arranged the stethoscope around her neck 
and held the sensor in front of her like a 
microphone. 
“Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your 
order?” 
This cute story illustrates why we gravitate to 
bucket-carrying jobs – it’s called “monkey see, 
“We’ve got a great job, Pablo. I can carry 100 
buckets a day. At a penny a bucket, that’s a 
dollar a day. I’m rich! By the end of the 
week, I can buy a new pair of shoes. By the 
end of the month, a cow. By the end of six 
months, I can buy a new hut. We have the best 
job in town. We have weekends off and two 
weeks’ paid vacation every year. We’re set for 
life! Get out of here with your pipeline.”

money do.” The little girl had been to Mcdonald’s 
so often that she mistook the stethoscope for a 
headset and copycatted the way the employees 
talked to customers. 
Like the little girl, most people mistake bucket 
carrying for pipeline building. We observe that 
99% of the people carry buckets. So we naturally 
assume that bucket carrying is the only way to get 
what we want in life.
